    And so ends another thrilling night in the English Football League. Jack Grealish's stunning late strike - in front of the watching Duke of Cambridge - prolonged Cardiff City's misery as they slipped to third in the Championship at the expense of Fulham.

    Sunderland picked up a point at the other end of the table but it should really have been three, while Wigan moved top of League One with a thumping local derby win against Rochdale.

    Fulham's win against Reading not only moved them into second place in the Championship, but it also means Wolves now cannot go up on Wednesday when they take on Derby County at Molineux.

    We'll have live coverage of that game tomorrow evening.

    For now, thank you for joining us.

    More from Mick McCarthy on his premature exit from Ipswich, after five and a half years in charge at Portman Road.

    "I have had a great time here and worked with some great people and to all those who have given me wonderful support over the last five and a half years - and there are many - I want to put on record my personal thanks," he said.

    "The players here can look forward to a new challenge with whoever comes in and I want to wish them, the staff and the club the best of fortunes.

    Mick McCarthy and his assistant Terry Connor were due to leave Ipswich at the end of the season, but a statement on the club website has confirmed their immediate departures.

    "I spoke with (owner) Marcus Evans at the weekend and we agreed that it was in the best interests for me, the players and the club that I move on now,” said McCarthy.

    “I said I would see the season out but it’s been a new experience and it’s not one I have been enjoying to be honest.

    “I have continued to do my job to the best of my ability but there is something missing and I’m not comfortable with that."

    FT: Aston Villa 1-0 Cardiff City

    Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce told Sky Sports:

    "It gives us another chance. It breathes life into us again after a disappointing few weeks of results.

    "The most important thing is the response. It was a must-win for us and it was always going to be difficult against Neil's team.

    "It doesn't matter who you play, we've looked at the results today and it's unbelievable. Fulham are on an unbelievable run.

    "Is there a little bit around the corner? Who knows. Can we take enough points? We've set ourselves a target and we need to win all our remaining games if we're to have a chance."

    Aston Villa goalscorer Jack Grealish told Sky Sports:

    "It is always good to score a goal, especially late on in a big game. The main thing was to come out and get three points.

    "We've had a sticky patch recently. We owe a lot to [goalkeeper] Sam Johnstone, who made a lot of saves to keep us in it, but I'm happy to score.

    "[Automatic promotion] is still possible. We've got a good few games left. Everyone who watches the Championship knows what it's about. It's still all to play for."

    There really isn't any hint of a Bolton comeback at the Macron.

    If anything, Millwall look more like adding to their lead, Shaun Williams having a long-range effort deflected off target.

    Tim Cahill has been introduced for the final few minutes to help see the match out.
